Discussion- Our SOLDIER Nessie Pets <3

Hello, Legends.

What are your thoughts on SOLDIER Nessie? How has it enhanced your gaming experience? Share your strategies, favourite moments, clips, and tips on how to best use this loyal companion. Let's discover the full potential of SOLDIER Nessie together!

I had to start a discussion here about those fascinating buddies introduced in the Apex Legends & Final Fantasy VII Rebirth event: the SOLDIER Nessies!

At this point, you all probably know how to summon them using the red materia hop-up, but if you are new to the event and need some guidance, just comment below and we can show you how easy it is.

It's not hard to see why they're so fascinating! These cute little greenies are not just awesome companions, but a stalwart ally on the arena. It follows you around and ferociously attacks enemies on sight, giving you a slight advantage during fights. The Nessie's aggressive nature can be a game-changer, turning the tide in your favour during tight battles.

But the features of Soldier Nessie don't stop at offense. We can pet them to heal, and their unique healing mechanic adds a whole new layer of strategy to the game. After petting Nessie, it emits a heart-shaped puff of smoke. 💖Not only is this incredibly charming, but it can be a lifesaver in sticky situations where health resources are scarce.

"I shot and shot at it. Guess it was friendly then? Have no clue, just wanted it to go away."

Yeah, I tend to be a little suspicious of new things too. In this case, I hate the noise it makes. When you spend most of your matches trying to keep a low profile it's really no help at all to have that little squeaky toy running around giving away your position at every turn. I'll put the hop in my back pack until the critical moment, IF I have a big enough back pack. Otherwise I won't even pick it up.

@CCbathwater If the health meter is blue it's your teams. If it's red it's the enemy. I wish they would have changed the color of the nessy to make it more obvious.

The nessies are the best part of this event. I love when 2 nessies battle each other.

I really think they shouldnt spawn unless you fire the weapon that summons them.
Also 25 dmg can be very high when nessie sneaks up behind you when you tryin to heal

Overall this whole mode is unbalanced as it can be and absolute hate it. Swords hitting you from miles away , killing you in 2-3 strikes and very hard to counter soon they get mid/close range and bloody nessie always comming up behind,..... very annoying.

I've played FF since the snes era and this game-mode gets very close to get me to hate it.

Nothing positive to say about this mode or nessie.

Similarly where it might give you away...
It also may alert you to nearby enemies you were unaware of.

@EA_Mari I've only played a couple matches of this game mode (my buddies don't play Apex anymore, so I pretty much just stick to Mixtape these days), but the Nessie soldiers are one of my favorite things ever to be in an LTM!! I was DYING laughing when I first summoned one! The noises, being able to pet them, the adorable little Nessie with a massive sword on its back... definitely a win, for me.

I've never played any of the FF games, so I don't really have input on the rest of the event/mode, Lol. The sword was fun to mess around with in the couple matches that I played, but I didn't mess with it a whole lot.
